Thabang has the confidence to achieve his golfing goals
Name: Thabang Tlou
BSI Programme: PGA Diploma (Class of 2016)
Current Position: Brand Ambassador AVC
Previous Positions: Apprentice to John Dickson at Els Club, Copperleaf 2017–2018; Club Builder and Fitter at Cool Clubs South Africa 2018-2019
Here’s what Thabang had to say about his experience at BSI:
“The coaching staff are great. They are all there to help you become a better athlete. Being exposed to a very good practice facilities at Huddle Park and having the privilege of being a member at Royal Johannesburg & Kensington GC. BSI’s PGA Diploma studies are the best in the country and the academy really gave me that student-athlete feeling.
With mental sessions with Mark, I learned the dynamics of being goal driven not only in my career, but also for how I live my life. Through the academy, I’ve learnt to believe in myself and my talents more, believing in the process of becoming a better athlete through hard work and mental toughness.
For new students joining up: trust the process, stay in the present and enjoy your time at BSI.”
